托福写作考查的是综合运用英语语言的能力，主要应该从“一大一小”两方面把握：这“大”是一篇文章的框架结构，“小”是一篇文章的单词、短语和句子。“大”处做好了，会显得整篇文章很有条理和逻辑性，“小”处做好了，能很好地反映一个人的语言修养，准确的用词、多样化的句式结构以及精妙得体的修辞会使整篇文章提升层次、极富感染力。
这“大”处要怎么弄呢?跟中文作文似的，你可以列个提纲，根据不同的题目，确定体裁，循着一定的“套路”写。比如议论文，切记要有论点、论据，写得别太散就行了。时间久了，心中就有“感觉”了，到真正考试时，一看题目脑子中就有了一棵树的树干，补上“叶子”就行了。这叶子就是我们说的“小”处了。
写作中用词不准确是很容易犯的毛病，good，terrible，see，nice，kind，greatly，think，know，something等词汇在学生作文中反复出现。这些词本身并没有问题，是英语常用词，但是它们表达的意思过于模糊，很多情况下，应该使用意义更加准确的词。况且，学生老是使用这几个词会给人以表达形式单调，词汇量贫乏，文章缺乏感染力的印象。下面的一些例子，通过换用一、两个准确生动的词语或是运用一些固定搭配及习语就使整个句子增色不少。举个例子：
Original: You should compete to live in this society.
Revised: You should compete for survival; otherwise, you will be thrown out of the tide of society.
评析：
原句平平淡淡，只是告诉人们要在社会立足，必须竞争，但这样一句简单的劝告似乎缺乏说服力，修改后的句子用了compete for survival，为了生存而竞争，而且后面又添加了一个并列分句，补充说明了如果不compete的后果就是be thrown out of the tide of society，被社会的浪潮所淘汰，使用这些更加具体深刻的词汇能够形象生动地表现出竞争的惨烈。下面是一些开头、中段和结尾的模版：
Introductory paragraph:
s a matter of fact, the issue of whether _________________ is a complex and controversial one. One the one hand, many people may feel that _________________, and correspondingly _________________; on the other hand, it can be noted that _________________ and hence _________________. There is no universal answer to this question; so various people can hold conflicting opinions due to their distinct backgrounds and values. As far as I am concerned, while I agree that under some circumstances _________________, however, is _________________. My view can be greatly substantiated by the reasons addressed below.
Body paragraph:
Authority/Quotation/Expert Opinion
XXX, CEO of XXX Company, which is _________________, once pointed out (and I paraphrase) that _________________. This illustrates the point that _________________.
Professor XXX, highly respected and well-known professor at _________________, once pointed out (and I paraphrase) that_________________. This illustrates the point that _________________.
As head of X Department at my university once said (and I paraphrase): “….” This illustrates the point that _________________.
Statistics
According to a recent survey conducted by the XXX department of XXX University among AAA. NN percent of AAA CCC. The result of the survey also indicates an increase of over NN percent within NN years in the rates of BBB. Researchers of XXX believe that _________________. In AAA where not CCC, the occurrence of such problems drops dramatically.
Such non-mainstream areas of inquiry as astrology, fortune-telling, and psychic and paranormal pursuits play a vital role in society by satisfying human needs that are not addressed by mainstream science.
According to a recent survey conducted by the sociology department of Peking University among 10 biggest cities in China, 53.7 percent of respondents believe in ever-lasting life after death and fortune-telling. The result of the survey also indicates an increase of over 8 percent within 5 years in the rate of visiting temples. Researchers believe that these problems mainly result from the inability of mainstream science to satisfy the human needs for explanations of abnormal phenomena. In cities where the level of science-popularization is high, the occurrence of visiting temples for fortune telling drops dramatically.
Concluding Paragraph:
To conclude, there is no easy solution to such a complex issue, however, taking into account all the dimensions of the issue discussed in the above analysis, might be the first step out of the dilemma.
In sum, it is very likely that people will be able to arrive at the same conclusion on this controversial issue due to their different experiences, and conflicting values. Nevertheless, public awareness of the various dimensions of the issue discussed above argument will certainly contribute to the thorough understanding of the problem.
In conclusion, while some people may still remain unconvinced, the reason that I have analyzed in above argument should at least make them aware of the complexities of the issue under discussion. There is little doubt that more and more people will come to realize that _________________.
To sum up, there are still several other aspects relevant to the issue under discussion, which, unfortunately, I have no time to explore in detail here. But the above-discussed reasons should in a large sense justify my conclusion that _________________.
